The four digit number in brackets in title is for my ref only.

It measures 340 x 250 mm (13.25 x 10 inches). The spine and some pages are loose with binding witness marks. Some of the pages may be loose, and have minor cuts tears and blemishes due to their great age. The photographs vary in size. The images are in black and white unless otherwise stated. This item will be packaged in a tube.
